new versions of simple winpe maker

[Neilishere]

Yes it did download winpe (for win 8.1) as I ran v16 after I resized/reformatted recovery partition so original winre was gone.

Thanks

edit: When I ran my simple pe, it dod not have any win 8 menu items, only your menu. Does simple pe created from winre.wim include win 8 items?

 

[SIW2]

Yes, if it is made from winre.wim, it includes windows own recovery options.

New version. Lots of new options and some updates. Will leave v16 up in case some prefer small and simple.

If you want to include Windows Defender Online , you can get it from here first: ( for 64 bit wims only, because 32 bit will use ESET ). New 2014 Windows Defender version from MS, runs in vista/7/8/8.1/8.1.1 winre.wim/boot.wim.

Thanks Si that works nicely.

 

[SIW2]

Good. Thanks for trying it out

does it look also at hidden partitions?

 

[SIW2]

It does if you install pguru first, then pguru will be included.

should i un-hide the recovery partition to look for winre.wim in it first, sir?
i have already installed pguru

 

[SIW2]

Yes, if you hid it, then unhide it.

Awesome bit of kit !

EDIT: I removed the false bug report, it was down to user error (ie me) I was expecting it to prompt me for stuff... Its working great now with what I want on it, you really don't need anything else for windows recovery and other tasks if you got this in x86 and x64 on a multiboot USB stick ! thanks

One question where do you place the WDO iso in order for the X64 build routine to find it and include it in the build ?

 

[kado897]

It is where the creation tool puts it by default. In my case "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Tool\WDO_Media64.iso". If it doesn't find it there you have the option to browse for it. BTW that's a hidden folder.

 

[Andyrids]

Ah right ok thanks for that info... However I don't see no option to browse for it though or an option to include it even... Don't get me wrong guys I'm not complaining this PE set up has already saved me many hours of work, I just want to "max" it out to cover all bases I have done that with the X86 .iso already... All that is left is the inclusion of WDO for the X64 build... Thank you for your help btw

 

[kado897]

I don't think it tells you if it finds it. Have you tried using it?

 

[MrJWilson]

Hi,

Sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't see an answer.

Is the latest RE version REv19? Does this automatically work as 64 bit if I have Win7 64bit? The last version I had was RE64v7 that was specific to 64 bit OS.

I find this tool very useful so thanks SIW2. Is there anywhere dedicated on here to this tool so I can ensure I have the latest version of it?

Cheers

I am going to do another build at some point today and place the WDO iso where you said and see if it takes it... WDO isn't exactly "offline" if its about a month old it won't run and tells you to download the latest version, I can see the reasoning behind that but it kind of defeats the objective in my opinion.

@Mr Wilson... yes it is RE v19 and yes it does work on Win7 X64, as far as I know this is the only thread pertaining to it... though I'm not 100% sure of that last bit.

Another couple of problems with the X64 build, WDO works great now, however Free Macurim it asks to include it I select "y" yet when you boot into the environment nothing happens when you click the button to run it... a licence checking issue maybe ? ... Now with PAR (The version I was using was installed from this exe file of theirs Paragon-281-FRE_WinInstallx64_10.1.21.638_000.exe) same thing it finds it and opt to include it but this time when you boot into the environment it obviously has not been included... I also compared .iso sizes and the size does not change with or without it..

Actually also when you opt to include Macurim also the size does change but not enough in my opinion to hold all of the program components, as if "parts" are missing ?

No problems at all with the x86 build though including everything and actually working.

Anyone else seeing these two issues with the X64 V19 ? I still have not found a solution.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

Seems to be an issue with the menu re macrium.

try this one:View attachment SIW2x64V.zip

Just replace the SIW2x64V.exe you already have in C:\REv19\BIN\x64\Windows\System32 with the one from the .zip

 

[SIW2]

Or give this a whirl: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0t126rfm15kq2qs/REv20.zip

I have saved and replaced that .exe in V19 now... However I am downloading and going to do a build with your V20 first and report back... Thanks !
